// DESCRIPTION:
//
// Produces the dependency graph node "shiftNode".
//
// This plug-in demonstrates modifying uvCoord and refPointCamera from within a
// texture plug-in. The uvCoord and refPointCamera are marked as "renderSource" attributes.
// The uvCoord and refPointCamera for the current sample position are requested
// and then subsequently shifted four times. Each time these attributes are modified,
// the inColor attribute is requested, and because the attributes are render sources,
// the request for inColor forces a shading evaluation. Thus, the 2D or 3D texture
// connected to inColor will be evaluated four additional times for every point shaded.
// The inColor values are averaged which produces a blurred result.
